Here at Education at Work we are taking time this holiday season to give thanks to those who have served and strengthened our organization this year. These are the helping hands who make it possible for us to support college students nationwide and live out our mission daily.

We are thankful for:

1.Our leadership and all professional staff who work day in and day out to grow our footprint in the BPO industry and grow toward our vision. Without their leadership our organization would not have had the opportunity to award $20 million in tuition assistance and wages to-date!

2.Our university partners and the businesses that recognize the value of our unique support model.

• Northern Kentucky University
• Mount Saint Joseph University
• Arizona State University
• University of Utah
• David Eccles School of Business and the university community

Without their continued support, our student-employees would not have the opportunity to benefit from the experiential learning they have acquired by working for EAW. It’s thanks to their financial support and investment that we are able to combat the student debt crisis!

3.Our students
We are thankful for the continued enthusiasm and drive our students exemplify both on campus and in our centers. Their determination and skills provide excellent customer service on behalf of our clients which fuels the success of our organization.

4.Strada Education Network
The continued leadership and funding support from our parent company has paved the way to success for our organization. Their passion for higher education and student success has played an integral part in our ability to expand nationally in the past two years and invest in initiatives to further support our student-employees.

5.Contractors and build out team for center expansions
We are incredibly grateful for the skilled contractors and EAW staff members who have built the wonderful and unique campus contact centers that help differentiate us in the BPO industry! They have ensured the safety of our staff and have designed centers tailored to fit the needs of our collegiate workforce.

Thanks to the effort of those mentioned above, we are able to positively impact the lives of college students nationwide. Together we will continue to combat the student debt crisis and offer experiential learning, resources, and career readiness skills to future professionals. Be sure to give thanks this holiday season! And from all of us here at EAW, we wish you Happy Holidays!
